Re: Topband: CQ WW CW 160m observations (high angle)

[Roger Parsons via Topband <topband@contesting.com>]

Interesting observation Guy. I noticed what I am almost certain was very high 
angle propagation on Sunday evening at sunset when I was only able to hear 
Europe on my low dipole (very low, about 20' so a real cloud warmer). I could 
not hear them at all on Beverages, SAL, or receive 4 square or transmit 
antennas. They could not hear me at all on my transmit antennas which are low 
angle. After an hour or so of this everything normalised and the 'better' 
receive antennas became just that. Fairly soon after that the contest was over. 
I have noticed this sort of effect before but never to this extreme extent.
